If I had to choose my favorite Louboutin of 2009 I think the “Nitoinimoi” bandage ankle bootie below would definitely be up for consideration. There are not enough words to describe how much I love these. However, there is also not enough cash in my wallet to buy these as well.

Liliana “Jones” Strapped Booties
UPDATE (11/07/2009): Found another great Christian Louboutin “Nitoinimoi” knockoff at FlyJane.
I’m so glad I stumbled upon these babies today. Don’t they look awesome? They come pretty close to the Louboutins (except that the upper material is faux suede here), but the square toe and the signature red sole is making me fall in love with these edgy booties. And they’re relatively inexpensive, too.

Anne Michelle Addiction 55 Buckled Booties
HOT DEAL: Get 15% OFF your order at LuLu*s with our exclusive coupon code INTHEIRCLOSET Offer valid until November 23rd, 2009.
Once again Anne Michelle comes to the rescue! Their “Nitoinimoi” knockoff is almost a 1:1 copy of the real deal. The only differences are the missing red sole and the pointed toe which is square on the originals. Everything else from the shape to the bandages and the buckles looks identical. And they’re so inexpensive, too! Only $44 (use our coupon code above and you’ll only have to pay $37.40). Such a great deal, gotta love LuLu*s.

Boutique 9 “Siaka” Ankle Boots
I know these boots by Boutique 9 are more of an “inspired-by” kind rather than a complete rip-off, but I still think they fit the bill for a great Louboutin alternative. I’m also sort of in love with them even though they are not a steal at $229. Also available in brown.
